Whether we admit it or not, we all have a certain fascination with death. For that reason, this has been a highly successful franchise leading into this, it's sixth film.
After a spectacular opening sequence, we are introduced to Stephani Reyes played by Kaitlyn Santa Juana, a young woman who has seemingly inherited her grandmother's ability to see premonitions of death. The entire cast is predominately unknown actors and just about all of them are just fodder to die in ingenious, original and ghastly ways. In his last film, horror film star, Tony Todd has a welcome cameo.
Audiences don't flock to this franchise to see stars or even expect coherent storytelling. They come for the grisly set pieces that make even everyday items deadly. The family subplot does add some depth to the story, but the clever and twisted ways death claims victims are what will appeal to fans and they will not be disappointed.
